Chapter 319: Chapter 233 Mountain Bandits, Massacre_2
“Would you rather hand over that girl or have my brothers shoot her dead with a barrage of arrows? Choose for yourselves.”
The round, plump middle-aged man’s face changed again.
He cursed inwardly for being careless.
In such a situation, even he would find it extremely tricky to handle.
With his and his disciple’s abilities, breaking through was naturally not difficult, but to ensure the complete safety of the elder doctor and others was extremely difficult.
Just as the round, plump middle-aged man was regretting not capturing the bandit leader immediately, Lu Qing spoke up again.
...
“No wonder the stench of blood on you is so strong, so it turns out you slaughtered an entire town.”
“So what if we did?” The centipede-scarred Great Han looked at Lu Qing somewhat curiously.
He thought this young man might have a problem with his brain. Couldn’t he see the situation they were in? And yet he still had the mind to care about them slaughtering a town.
However, he then saw that Lu Qing’s expression was unusually calm. After seeing him nod, he casually said, “Boss Ma, capture him.”
“Yes, young master!”
Before the centipede-scarred Great Han could comprehend the meaning of those words,
He suddenly felt an immensely powerful aura erupt in front of him. The next moment, a figure appeared before him.
Feeling the suffocating presence from Ma Gu, the centipede-scarred Great Han panicked and wanted to retreat.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Sword light flashed, and with two slicing sounds, the centipede-scarred Great Han’s arms had severed from his body and fell to the ground.
With a single move that took off the centipede-scarred Great Han’s arms, Ma Gu did not pause, and he tapped his chest with the hilt of his blade.
After dodging the blood that sprayed out wildly, he then grabbed the man’s neck and returned to Lu Qing’s side, throwing him to the ground.
“…”
Ma Gu’s strike was rapid and sudden like a diving hawk snatching its prey.
By the time he captured the centipede-scarred Great Han, not a single mountain bandit had reacted.
“Ah! My hands!”
Unable to endure the pain from his severed arms, the centipede-scarred Great Han screamed in agony.
This finally provoked a reaction from the mountain bandits.
“Boss!”
“Let go of our boss!”
“Otherwise we’ll chop all of you to pieces!”
“Release the arrows, immediately!”
The mountain bandits became agitated and began shouting frantically.
“Shut up!” Ma Gu pressed the blade’s tip to the centipede-scarred Great Han’s throat, “Don’t you want your boss to live?”
“…”
Seeing the blood begin to trickle from the centipede-scarred Great Han’s throat, all the mountain bandits instantly fell silent, not daring to shout further.
Even those on the surrounding walls and rooftops subconsciously lowered their bows and hidden weapons,
fearing a misfire might injure their boss.
As for the round-faced middle-aged men and others nearby, they were already dumbfounded.
“That’s better.”
Lu Qing then pressed several acupoints on the centipede-scarred Great Han’s body, momentarily stopping the bleeding from his arm wounds.
Then he lightly asked, “How do you feel about the situation now?”
The centipede-scarred Great Han was a ruthless man, having already recovered from the immense pain.
Suppressing his pain, he sneered, “Didn’t expect it, someone as minor as I misjudged. Your servant, having only reached Great Success in the Muscle Bone Realm, could unleash a strength not less than that of the Internal Organ Realm, catching me off guard, and I actually got caught!
However, do you think just by capturing me, you will be able to safely leave this place? Just one command from me, and my brothers will hesitatelessly release arrows, turning you all into a beehive!”
“Oh then, give that order,” Lu Qing said indifferently.
“What did you say?” the centipede-scarred Great Han was startled.
“I said, give the order now. Let your brothers release their arrows and see if they can turn us into a beehive,” Lu Qing repeated blandly.
“Are you insane, boy?”
The centipede-scarred Great Han looked at Lu Qing with disbelief in his eyes.
He could feel that Lu Qing’s words weren’t false, and that he really didn’t care about him ordering to release the arrows.
This left the centipede-scarred Great Han in a dilemma.
Because once he truly ordered the arrows to be fired, he himself would undoubtedly die.
Although he was brutal, he was not insane to the extent of disregarding his own life.
“It seems that you are still afraid.”
Lu Qing, seeing the centipede-scarred Great Han hesitate, chuckled lightly, “You scum and ruin of humankind always act like this, harming others while putting on airs as if you are truly formidable and powerful.
But when you really face death, your courage is even smaller than that of a mouse, truly disappointing.”
Hearing Lu Qing’s extremely insulting words, a fierce expression reappeared on the centipede-scarred Great Han’s face.
But now, being at the mercy of others, he dared not lash out.
“What exactly do you want for you to let me go?”
The centipede-scarred Great Han said coldly.
He was still hopeful, for in this courtyard, there were still children, the elderly, and a young girl with low cultivation, and his men had already occupied every vantage point.
As long as Lu Qing and his group had any concerns, he still had a chance to live.
What the centipede-scarred Great Han did not expect was that when he said this, he heard Lu Qing sigh.
“Enough, since you dare not give the order, I will help you out.”
“Wait!”
A chill ran through the heart of the centipede-scarred Great Han, who shouted anxiously.
However, it was to no avail.
Lu Qing extended a finger and gently tapped on his forehead. The centipede-scarred Great Han shuddered, his pupils beginning to dilate and his breath slowly fading.
“Boss!”
Seeing that the centipede-scarred Great Han was breathless, all the mountain bandits were greatly shocked.
No one expected that Lu Qing would suddenly strike to kill at this moment, taking out their leader.
Even the corpulent middle-aged man and his students were completely stunned.
“Release the arrows, release them now, kill them all!”
At that moment, a mountain bandit leader finally reacted and screamed madly.
The bandits occupying the high positions also snapped back to their senses, immediately drawing their bows to shoot at Lu Qing and his group.

“Not good!”
The corpulent middle-aged man was greatly panicked. He leaped forward, attempting to strike first.
But just as he leaped out, still in midair, he heard a hissing sound. The mountain bandits on the surrounding walls and roofs were screaming in agony, falling down like dumplings.
“Ma Gu, Zi’an, kill them all, leave no survivors.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Ma Gu and Wei Zian, who had been holding back, immediately showed excitement upon hearing this and rushed towards the remaining dozen or so mountain bandits in the courtyard.
“Take this strike from me!”
Ma Gu’s cultivation was higher than Wei Zian’s. He was the first to reach the bandit leader opposite him, who held a long sword. With one strike, he cleaved down.
That bandit was terrified; he had just witnessed that even their leader was no match for the person before him.
In a panic, he could only instinctively raise his sword, hoping to block the strike.
“Clash!”
The sword light flashed. The War Saber in Ma Gu’s hand, no ordinary weapon, was a Thousand Refinement Treasure Blade that Lu Qing had forged for him during the past two years.
The long sword in the bandit’s hand, at most only forged a few dozen times, how could it withstand Ma Gu’s thunderous strike?
Without a doubt, it was cleaved in two like cutting tofu, and Ma Gu split both the man and his sword in half.
Boom! Boom!
After Ma Gu finished off one bandit with a single strike, Wei Zian’s long stick arrived.
His stick technique was continuous, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, striking two swift blows each on the chest of two mountain bandits.
The stick technique was all about overpowering and outmuscling the opponent.
Thus, under the powerful impact, the chests of the two bandits immediately caved in, they flew backward, breaking the wall behind them and landed on the broken bricks and stones, clearly dead.
After quickly dispatching two mountain bandits, Wei Zian did not pause; his stick technique swept across, with a Sweeping Thousands of Army stroke, he charged at the remaining bandits.
“My dear disciple, don’t kill them all, leave a few for your master!”
Seeing this, Ma Gu was startled and promptly rushed forward, fearing that being a bit slower would mean all the kills would be taken by his disciple.
On the other side, seeing Ma Gu and his disciple slaughtering freely, relying on their strength to make over a dozen strong mountain bandits run about in panic, screaming continuously.
The corpulent middle-aged man and his disciples stood frozen like wooden chickens, staring wide-eyed at the scene.
